Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - New England, ND.

Addiction rehab facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Addiction rehab programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
